Patterson v. I. H. Services, Inc.

Goolsby, Judge:

This action by Denise R. Patterson against I. H. Services, Inc., arises out of Patterson’s allegedly wrongful discharge from employment. The trial judge, sitting without a jury, denied Patterson relief under the Victim’s and Witness’s Bill of Rights Act, South Carolina Code of Laws §§ 16-3-1510 et seq. (1976), but awarded her actual damages in the amount of $6,968 under the statute that creates a civil action for dismissal of an employee who complies with a subpoena, South Carolina Code of Laws § 41-1-70 (1976) (Cum. Supp. 1987). Both parties appeal. We affirm.
